NPR’s food blog, The Salt, recently featured an interesting story on soybean production in America. The crop is the second most harvested in the nation next to corn.
The EPA reports that “approximately 2.8 billion bushels of soybeans were harvested from almost 73 million acres of cropland in the U.S. in 2000. This acreage is roughly equivalent to that of corn grown for grain.”
